When Peter Metcalfe was a kid growing up in Juneau, school history lessons about Alaska didn't include the perspectives and contributions of the state's Native residents.

"I grew up in the Juneau school system and I just don't remember being taught anything at all other than the comic book version of Alaska history, which is the Gold Rush, Wickersham — white history," he said.
